UNIT: Plant Classification, Structure & Function
10. Understand Plant Classification and Plant Structure and Function
  • Distinguish between vascular and nonvascular plants
  • Distinguish between angiosperms and gymnosperms
  • Distinguish between monocots and dicots
  • Describe the histology of roots, stems, leaves, and flowers
